Stephen King has been slaying the horror landscape for well over three decades. He’s crafted some beautifully horrific fiction, and subsequently seen a great deal of those stories transferred to screen, be it big or small (or even mple short films). Knowing the man’s body of work, I began to ponder: could I actually rank every ngle film transfer the man has spawned, and further more, have actually seen every one of them?After some research, and compiling a list of every film to be based upon King’s work I reached a concluon, quickly. There’s not a chance in hell I can accurately rank this obnoxiously zeable film catalogue. Just take a gander at the man’s works, and you tell me: can you rank these films?Stephen King, Filmography: 1976-2011 1976 - Carrie 1979 - Salems Lot 1980 - The Shining 1982 - Creepshow Five short films: "Fathers Day," "The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill," "Something to Tide You Over," "The Crate," and "Theyre Creeping Up On You" 1982 - The Boogeyman short film 1983 - Cujo 1983 - The Dead Zone 1983 - Christine 1983 - Disciples of the Crow short film 1983 - The Woman in the Room short film 1984 - Children of the Corn 1984 - Firestarter 1985 - Cats Eye Three short films: "Quitters, Inc.," "The Ledge," and "The General" 1985 - lver Bullet 1985 - Stephen Kings Nightshift Collection Two short films: "The Woman in the Room" and "The Boogeyman" 1985 - Word Processor of the Gods episode of Tales from the Darkde 1986 - Gramma episode of The Twilight Zone 1986 - Maximum Overdrive 1986 - Stand By Me 1987 - Creepshow 2 Three short films: "Old Chief Woodnhead," "The Raft," and "The Hitchhiker" 1987 - A Return to Salems Lot 1987 - The Running Man 1987 - The Last Rung on the Ladder short film 1987 - Sorry, Right Number episode of Tales from the Darkde 1989 - Pet Sematary 1990 - The Cat From Hell short film 1990 - Graveyard Shift 1990 - It TV mini-series 1990 - Misery 1990 - The Moving Finger Monsters episode 1991 - Golden Years TV miniseries 1991 - Sometimes They Come Back 1992 - Sleepwalkers 1993 - The Dark Half 1993 - Needful Things 1993 - The Tommyknockers miniseries 1993 - Chinga episode of The X-files 1994 - The Shawshank Redemption 1994 - The Stand miniseries 1995 - The Langoliers miniseries 1995 - The Mangler 1995 - Dolores Claiborne 1995 - Stephen Kings Nightshift Collection 1996 - Thinner 1997 - The Shining TV miniseries 1997 - Ghosts muc video 1997 - The Night Flier HBO Movie 1997 - Quicklver Highway segment Chattery Teeth 1997 - Trucks TV Remake of Maximum Overdrive 1998 - Apt Pupil 1999 - The Green Mile 1999 - The Rage: Carrie 2 1999 - Storm of the Century TV miniseries 1999 - Llamadas short film 2000 - Paranoidshort film 2001 - Hearts in Atlantis 2001 - Strawberry Spring short film 2002 - Rose Red TV miniseries 2002 - The Dead Zone TV Series 2002 - Night Surf short film 2002 - Rainy Season short film 2002 - Carrie TV movie remake 2003 - Dreamcatcher 2003 - The Diary of Ellen Rimbauer TV movie 2003 - Autopsy Room Four short film 2003 - Here There Be Tygers short film 2003 - The Man in the Black Suit short film 2004 - Secret Window 2004 - Kingdom Hospital TV series 2004 - Salems Lot TV miniseries 2004 - Luckey Quarter short film 2004 - The Secret Trant Codes of Americas Highways short film 2004 - All That You Love Will Be Carried Away short film 2004 - Riding the Bullet 2005 - I Know What You Need short film 2006 - Desperation TV miniseries 2006 - Nightmares and Dreamscapes: From the stories of Stephen King 2006 - Suffer the Little Children short film 2007 - 1408 2007 - The Mist 2007 - No Smoking Bollywood movie 2009 - Dolans Cadillac 2010 - The Haven TV series based on the characters from The Colorado Kid 2011 - Bag of Bones

IT is and always will be, numbero uno! Probably my second favorite is The Shining (mini series). Other than that they really can't be ranked. There are just so many and each one has its own ups and downs.

That is true. Not many people out there liked Stephen King's THE SHINING, but I thought it was good. Stephen King himself didn't really care for Stanley Kubrick's veron, he thought that they eliminated Jack's struggle with his drinking problem in which they did, and he also thought that Jack was way to crazy than what he was in the book.

Theres one thing that is kinda odd is that all of the films that Stephen King did personally like his verong of Children of the Corn, Carrie, The Shining, etc. ROSE RED is probably the only one that isn't a book. But The Diary of Ellen Rimbauer is... i thought it was a good read

Wow I never realized the amount of great movies are from Stephen King until I see a list of them all. The best of all is Pet Sematary and Stand By Me.

1985 - lver Bullet
Zelda from Pet Semetery, Pennywise the clown and that fuckin beast in "The Crate."
were three of the scariest horror characters I came across growing up…
Outde of the whole Jason, Freddy, Pinhead class of fiends…
And of course a notible nod to Jack...For all work and no play makes Jack a Dull Boy...
